date format for a query field at run time

Hello friends:
How would I enter a format of eg. 03/02/2003 for a prompt
which come up for a query..at run time. This is to see to
it that the user enters the format above only for entering
the dates and nothing else.

I don't think you can enforce that as a parameter. Try using a form with
the date control which the query then references.
